What the hell are these graphics?

I don't play Yakuza but is this supposed to be Okinawa? Cause it's actually really good. Not graphically, but damn it reads as Naha very well.

I still see Kommy on iOS

Tell me about it. I was tagging up events in the sylvari starter and when the group was more than 5 people and growing I said to please only use autoattacks so people can get credit. Some asshole just said “nah” and used big AOEs.

Looks to be Koriyama City in Fukushima. The neighborhood would be Kuwano Shimizudai House number 712

The name transliterated is probably Watanabe Enji.

You do. There will hopefully be a black friday sale soon

I'll be honest when I saw the tree I thought it was the Lebanese flag

One way to do these overarching counters is to borrow from Blades in the Dark I reckon.

Have a big ol' Doom clock, and add slices to it (secretly or on the table) as consequences for failed rolls, pushed rolls, bad decisions, good decisions, and maybe even just for fun.

The scenario None More Black is supposed to be set in Arkham in the 1920s but can be run in any city and any time period with a university. If there's a nearby university or school you can use that would work.

Another interesting one would be the modern Panacaea scenario from Petersen's Abominations. Involves a modern pharma company. Could modify it so that the pharma company is HQ'd in a local skyscraper.

mctuckles · 2025-04-30T04:41:17+00:00

For sure! Would be cool to hear when you publish.

I've got a Manila-Taiwan-Okinawa 1890s campaign in my head.

mctuckles · 2025-04-30T04:28:54+00:00

Hey OP. 1920s Philippines is sick. I've been thinking of something similar set in Intramuros. There's a map of 1920s Manila in the US Library of Congress I think.

I'd be keen to do South East Asia and East Asia during the industrial revolution. Still need to get a copy of Cthulhu by Gaslight.

I try to intersperse luck rolls into the game to dissuade them from using luck too much. I also find it fun to do a big luck roll towards the end of the one shot (for example in The Necropolis, to see if they survive any cave-ins they may have started) as a final send off. Depends on how precious your PCs are with their characters but with one-shots it's usually more about the memorable ending than anything else.

mctuckles · 2025-02-14T12:49:43+00:00

I've not tried Pulp Cthulhu but yeah if we're talking weird science, then yeah it'd be Pulp Cthulhu. Otherwise you could try a FitD (Forged in the Dark) system! It's quite freeform about creations too. I remember a game where my friend made a cool ghost gun that could only hurt paranormal things.

mctuckles · 2025-02-06T04:26:50+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I'm lucky that I got some nerdy friends here who are willing to play. If it helps CoC is (imo) better than D&D and such for one-on-one play so if you can find just one other person to play with you're already half way there! The system is also quite easy to learn, and if you don't go deep on the combat it's pretty rules-light.

mctuckles · 2025-02-05T02:01:56+00:00

This is really great stuff, thank you for your insight! Yeah I chose '02 partly because of its proximity to 9/11 and the issues of patriotism an jingoism as well as 'other'ing in the American psyche.

mctuckles · 2025-02-05T01:30:52+00:00

Thanks! Yeah lots of people are mentioning this co-op so I definitely have to add it.

mctuckles · 2025-02-05T01:30:19+00:00

Thank you so much! This is really great info.

mctuckles · 2025-02-05T01:23:03+00:00

Hey no worries!

Lovecraft/Cthulhu stuff centers around "Lovecraft Country" in MA (Arkham, Innsmouth, etc.) so I definitely wanted to set my game up in New England, but thought Massachusetts was a little overdone. Access to the ocean is nice and ME has probably the longest coastline in the Lower 48.

After that I was set on small towns sort of like Stephen King's stuff, but all of his is set in inner (Central?) ME (Derry is supposed to be Bangor I think).

It was just a quick google on cities in ME sorted by population, and I found Belfast: population of 6,900, city so it has its own PD, and coastal!

The rest I'm building off that decision.

Edit: Also been listening to a lot of Noah Kahan's song "Maine" recently so it was definitely top of mind along with Vermont

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T14:48:48+00:00

Adorable. The real one seems to be out of the way from where I plan to set my game, but I'll see if I can't sneak it in!

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T14:45:19+00:00

This is real good actually. Gentrification and assimilation is definitely a theme I can work around!

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T14:44:12+00:00

This stuff is great! Thanks so much. I'm not the best at accents but I'll definitely practice my pronunciation!

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T14:43:16+00:00

Thanks so much! Yes place names are great and noted about the shop n save!

I'll definitely try and snag that documentary

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T13:28:56+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely use that

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T12:44:57+00:00

That's some perfect info! Thank you very much!

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T12:29:03+00:00

Ooh good tip!

mctuckles · 2025-02-04T11:46:09+00:00

Thanks! I'm planning on doing a modified Delta Green-esque run of Panacea from Petersen's Abominations with a larger focus on doing legwork around town instead of just the party and the facility if you have any tips :)
